Darksiders (360 & PS3)
Published (2010-01-06 06:49:00)
Creative director and former comic book artist Joe Madureira, brings us Darksiders through developers Vigil. I got this game yesterday and played it for a solid 5 hours. I am very impressed. It's a mix of Legend of Zelda and God of War. It mimics many LoZ game mechanics (ex: boomerang) and the fights are stripped from GoW. The only major difference is the badassery of the overall look and feel of the game. There is also some Panzer...

Most pirated games of '09
Published (2010-01-04 17:04:00)
Take one more look at the list of most pirated games, now compared that list to a list of best selling games of 2009. Logic would dictate that the most popular games would also be the most pirated correct? Why then would certain top sellers be missing from top pirated games? For example Left 4 Dead 2, i think during the holiday rush it was beaten out only by mw2 in sales. Yet people aren't pirating that game in droves. Why? Could it be...

Because it is either really rare and desired... OR that seller got somebody to pay that much for it... There are a bazillion reasons why it might be that much.

I agree. It's not the same thing. It was more of an explanation as the the peoples' thought process then an attempt to justify it.

Nasty Well one thing i discovered is that Roy Philips is Mezmertron proof (which is odd since you CAN kill him unlike Dr. Li and Shrapnel in Rivet City who you can only "knock unconsious.") Some people are needed to continue the story line, therefore you can't kill them, just knock them silly. Nasty the...

They cost that much as a collector's item, not so much as a game. If you want to buy the game because you haven't played it in ages, and lost your discs, etc, etc, you can go to good old games and buy them for $6 apiece here .

Red Faction Guerrilla

At least the article mentioned that a downloaded game does not automatically equal a lost sale. For instance, I will never buy Modern Warfare 2 even if it's down to 10 dollars. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. So who's losing out if I played a pirated version? (which I have not done)

I'm on the same boat. All I can see is the addition of melee weapons and new baddies. Its a minor update in my department that should have already been done the first time. Valve does know how to make money. However, the "free" hat is reeling me in and I might just cave.

guild wars is okay until you hit level 20, which is max. after that, it's a grind fest if you want the cool armor or cool green level weapons from bosses. if you get it, Eye of the North expansion allows you to title grind, because, supposedly the titles u get in Guild Wars will allow your Guild Wars 2 character to inherit special perks, which are currently unknown. i stopped playing due ...
